My Life In a Promptshell

My life so far. Oh my, where do we begin.

kindergarten I was a little shit. I would always be in trouble and my mom was always in the teachers office. I was seperated from my partner in crime, Michael, until we were in grade 9. I hated school. I think it was because I was bored and uninterested.

Once Jr high hit, I thought I was Eminem. I wanted to be a rapper so bad. It was HORRIBLE. I had spiked hair, talked with an accent, had a chain hangin' round mah neck y0! Baggy jeans and a long white T shirt that looked like a skirt completed the package. If I could, I would go back in time and punch my self right in my stupid face.

Enter grade 9: I got a Nintendo Gamecube and my parents got me Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I played and thought the coolest skater in the game was Bam Margera. His move called "The Jackass", made me laugh...but I didn't know what it meant.

Science class. I overheard someone talking about a show called Jackass. I somewhat put two and two together and found out Bam Margera was a star on the hsow. My gym teacher even told me it was a hilarious show. I thought what the hell. I downloaded a couple of episodes and watched. NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE ALERT!!!!!!

First thing I did was got rid of all my dreams of becoming a rapper. I changed my entire wardrobe and even took up skateboarding. I didn't talk with an accent anymore and more people started hating me less. That show gave me a huge confidence boost. It tought me to not really care what people think. I love public speaking now and I am not affraid to speak of what ever is on my mind.

I started making Jackass movies with my friends. It perked my curiosity into film and media. I started to want to make movies for a living. I needed to be in this industry because I started to get the feeling I was born to entertain.

As my friends got into drugs and we grew apart, I was looking for a new group of friends. I joined some social networking sites and lets just say, all of my close friends, I met through that website. Especialy one named Steph..who I can now proudly call my girlfriend of 3 and a half years.

Here we are today. I am sitting in my college classroom persueing my dreams of becoming a film maker.

I can't wait to see what the the future holds!

I know it sounds weird, but I think Jackass saved my life.
